The Russian government is in the process of drafting a law to make emo and goth music illegal.

Last month a parliamentary committee was convened to discuss a draft proposal of the Russian government’s Government Strategy In The Sphere Of Spiritual And Ethical Education bill, the details of which were leaked to The Moscow Times. The newspaper subsequently reported that, among other things, the draft bill dubbed the musical movements a “dangerous teen trend” and called for emo and goth websites to be regulated and young people dressing like emos or goths to be banned from entering schools and government buildings. read more

  • good riddance!

  • Do people know what orgianality is?
    Please,
    Clothes or Music Doesnt make people Kill themselfs,
    if it was the fashion the goverment Like they wouldn’t be banning it.
    But, what about prositutes?
    Short skirts and basically NO clothes on.
    at least ‘emo’s and Goth’s’ Cover up.
    This is fucking PATHETIC.
    Music and the Clothes are apart who you are.
    And if they Do cut then, Its apart of depression,Or no one understands them.
    So, WHAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM?

  • you’re fucking right!

  • umm… what the hell? how come every one thinks their right?.. this is idiotic. Cloths and Music dosent make the person for who he is. Its just a way of expressing yourself.. theres a milion problems out there in the world and these faggots are “taking care” of this shit?! tsk tsk .. wen will people get smarter..

  • i find it stupid that they blam depression and cutting on the emo lifestyle when it has been arounf or soooo much longer than that.
    and as someone else said the government wants to ban people waring black but he cant band a little slutty person wearing basicly nothing.
    if australia follows suit in this i will be sooooooooo pissed off. and prolly go to jail

  • Does anyone know who that is in the photo?

  • Cat *-*

  • damn…..life already sux enough wtf is the russian government about to do to us……make us all wear yellow….-_-” ftw…..

  • that is so stupid. people should have a right to express themselves. its just a lifestyle.

  • EMO 4 EVER
    and fuck them all

  • that’s right!

  • EsTaS Bn WuApO JiJi BeXoX ByE

  • sorry for using ur picture for my website.. but its so cool

  • how can the gov. ban the clothes ppl wear and the way ppl do their hair? this is pahtetic, i’d think the government would have better things to do than keep tabs on what we look like. this is discrimination

  • It’s not the clothing and the music that makes people act the way they do. These people listen to the music they do, and dress the way they do because of who they are and want to be, not the other way around. You can’t prevent it by hiding it, it’s already there. Open up your minds and see the world the way it is people.

  • they are sooo lucky! emos get EVERYONE depressed and theyre too selfish all the time!!!

  • This is my friend… wat the crap… wats bad about gothic music???

  • hi yesh i know whoo that is its craig *SHOCKS* because he hates being called *emo*

    no me esten chingando me van a salir con la mamada de que la ropa hace a a una persona y que la musica la transforma en una bestia jajaja. estan pendejos, y no chinguen no es un pedo de prohibir las cosas sino de educacion. SI EDUQUEN AL PUEBLO!!!!!! denle educacion en ves de futbol y alcohol. tal vez asi esas “escorias” de la humanidad como algunos nos llaman salgamos de nuestro “error” o tal vez asi los pendejos que nos discriminan y no nos entienden sean tolerantes.
